The general sentiment towards the game is divided. There is some appreciation for the depth and content provided at the current price and a positive reception to the storytelling and character interactions by certain players. However, the art style and historical accuracy are major points of criticism, particularly from fans of the previous games, who feel let down by the changes and lack of realism. The Early Access release has a mixed reception, as some appreciate the chance for development while others are frustrated with the incomplete nature at launch.
